July 6, 2022: Malaysian palm oil futures plunged more than 8% on Wednesday to a near one-year low, hit by anticipation of rising supplies amid a sell-off in crude and Dalian oils driven by recession fears.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for September delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange fell 348 ringgit, or 8.34% to 3,426 ringgit ($774.76) a tonne by 0307 GMT.
Palm extending losses for a fourth straight session, hitting their lowest since July 9, 2021.
